You know they won't. Take a look at what they did on the iPad lineup for what is coming on the iPhones:

Basic iPads only support USB2.0 transfer rates (480 Mbps). The iPad Pros get full Thunderbolt speeds. Expect the same for iPhones, I'd say.

The EU mandate is about forcing a single connector type. It doesn't say anything about quality of service of the connector, because ultimately it depends on the device.

The new iPad Mini is fun, it's got USB 2.0 client (hooked up to a host computer), but a USB 3.0 host controller (plug a USB drive into the iPad).

I like comparing it to a Raspberry Pi 4 that does the same thing.
